The project/script is freaking great, it's well-written but its installation method needs some work.

It symlinks from the git cloned directory to /usr/local/bin during installation.

When it runs, it does helpfully tell you which tools it needs, but each of those tools has a different install method:

* two are system packages

* one is a Go executable

* another a php composer package

* another is installed via npm

(that's a lot of extra language dependencies for a single script if you don't already have everything installed)

It'd be a great/easy to use docker image. I'd go that route before I'd worry about npm/php/golang on my system.
